The 'eyes' have it. Very nice. :thumb

Excellent shot. I like how you have both the reflection of the head and the details of the legs under the surface.

Is this one all natural light? Nice color on him and his eye.

All natural light, He was in a shaded area of a creek about 30 minutes before sunset:thumb. I actually laid down in the dry creek bed and inched closer while shooting. I had to increase my ISO to 800 to get a shutter speed to freeze and prevent camera shake since I was at 300mm. I was finally able to get within 2ft before it swam away.:scratch

Yep, this is a fantastic shot. I have a similar one of a Gator.

I wrote an article on Bullfrogs a short time back, and I'd have loved to have had a shot like this to go with it. Congrats of a job well done.

KAW.
